WALNUT CREEK, Calif. -- University of Oregon freshman catcher Alexa Peterson and senior pitcher Brittany Rumfelt were named the Pac-10 Softball Player and Pitcher of the Week for May 9-15 by Commissioner Larry Scott Tuesday.

In Oregon’s history-making weekend against returning national champion and then-No. 12 UCLA, Peterson was the only Duck to hit safely in all three games.

For the series, the Salem, Ore., native paced the team in batting (.714), hits (5) and on-base percentage (.750), and stood second in slugging (.714) and third in total bases (5).

Helping the team to a third-place Pac-10 finish - its best-ever in the eight-team league - she owns the team’s longest current hitting streak (6), and leads the squad in conference action in batting (.356), hits (21) and multi-hit games (6).

Overall on the season, the team’s Defensive MVP ranks third on the squad in batting (.327), on-base percentage (.423) and game-winning RBI (4), fourth in hits (36-tied) and fifth in slugging (.509)

Rumfelt made a pair of appearances and helped UO cement its second-ever season series advantage vs. the 11-time national champions.

The Lakeport, Calif., native made her first career start vs. the Bruins on the team’s pressure-filled Senior Day. She struck out seven in her six innings, and helped Oregon become the second team this year to blank the Bruins in the 5-0 decision.

For the weekend, she paced the team in ERA (1.83), wins (1-tied), strikeout-walk ratio (1.83:1) and opposing batting average (.148).

These honors mark the first of both Peterson’s and Rumfelt’s careers. Oregon now has 36 weekly softball honors all-time.

Earlier this season, sophomore Jessica Moore was accorded similar honors after her performance in the Libby Matson Tournament in Stockton, Calif., at the end of February.

Moore went 3-0 in the tourney; led UO in wins (3), strikeouts (19), ERA (0.00), innings (16.0) and opponent batting average (.115); and allowed three hits or less in all three of her starts.

This week, the Ducks will make their 13th all-time NCAA Regional appearance and seventh the last nine years. Tabbed as the No. 13 seed overall in the 64-team NCAA Tournament field, the Ducks will play in the State College Regional, and first face Albany on Friday, May 20 at 2:30 p.m. ET / 11:30 a.m. PT.
